Sure. But would you compare even the greatest collagist with Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Raphael, Sargent, etc.? That's basically what Kanye and his ilk do, make musical collages vs. original works. And don't start with that whole "there's nothing original" because you and everyone else will know that is disingenuous in context to my point.

"And his ilk"?? Nice turn of phrase. If you think it's so easy to make 'collages', say like '36 Chambers' or 'Paul's Boutique' then by all means go for it. You'll be rich as Croesus.

And btw, most Renaissance/Baroque artists used assistants to help them paint pictures. Even entire paintings could come out of an artists studio without being touched by the master's brush.

I'm not keen on Kanye but he puts lyrics over music. He's a songwriter. Not difficult to understand.
